Hatoful Returns

[davidn]

Leaving all behind, back into the light! Now that we're back above the ground, we're going through Ryouta's route in search of a less depressing ending. We don't really achieve this by a very great margin, but we can at least present the sensational new voice for Okosan, cooed by xaq and translated by ravenworks.

It's really refreshing laughing quite so constantly through one of these videos again.

Youtube's selection of preview image is truly astonishing.

Yes, that is basically the best preview image ever.

And 7:59 is the greatest thing we've done since the computer-hacking scene.

As a group, yeah, that was disgustingly hilarious.

On a character-to-character basis, though, I maintain my opinion that 23:44 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcZX5rvzMvA#t=23m44s) is the top of the heap for non-sadbeaks Ryouta...even if this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTicU8jklyI) was the music running through my head at the moment.

EDIT: And even if Jeremy Clarkson was in my head saying "Oh dear, I seem to have accidentally drowned my character....anyway, back to the studio."

You know, after watching the Ryouta/Okosan scene in the cafeteria again, I have to wonder:

How is it that Raven, the voice of Yuuya, made a remark about "pulling out" and avoided any kind of innuendo?

[ravenworks.livejournal.com]

I wasn't sure a scene that high-strung could stand any more excitement XD

[xaq.livejournal.com]

Well, in any case, I have to say that passing the translation duties for Oko to you was definitely a good choice.

[ravenworks.livejournal.com]

Thank you :D I'm glad you approve :)

Something else I wanted to point out: I just love how perfectly the "Barroom Billet Hypercaffienated Ragtime Mix" at the start stops at the exact moment the fast-forwarding stops as well. Just gives me that same kind of chuckle you get when watching a cartoon character running along at full tilt and then SPLAT! they crash into something.

[davidn]

:) Well, thank you for pointing that out, because the video editing time was... 10% doing any sort of sound corrections, 90% making sure that happened!

Not a problem. I just find it too amusing when I get the mental image of Hiyoko/Teo pancaking against the "choose a club" dialog box.
